Lessons Learned
• Military Command Structure• Try not to surprise your partners• Recognize that three partners (NIFA, DoD,
Universities) bring different things to the table
• Do your homework– Research on unique needs of military
families– Doing the same programs with same
people won’t work– Know what others are doing in support
of military families
